Defense attorney William Duncan had his chance to reveal his closing statements to the jury Friday, marking the final day of the murder trial against Patricia MacCallum before the jury entered into deliberations.

“Right now you have an awesome, terrible duty,” Duncan said to the jury, describing the grave charges against his client and the jury’s responsibility for deciding her fate.

MacCallum exercised her right to not testify, and Duncan suggested that any testimony about his client’s statements should be viewed as the witnesses’ interpretations.

Following common threads from his cross examinations, Duncan argued that MacCallum, who had reported her husband Chris missing on Nov. 20, 2012, had described precisely the location where she, Chris and her half-sister, Amber Lubbers, had been camping the last time Chris was seen alive.

If MacCallum had wanted to hide or cover up a crime, Duncan said, she could have led detectives to any number of other locations. “If you had committed a murder,” he said, “why would you point police to the exact location?”

In addition, Duncan detailed what he believed were a number of evidentiary oversights, such as the lack of cellphone location records of other potential suspects and a failure to perform DNA testing on a glove found at the scene where Chris MacCallum’s body was found.

Duncan also probed the testimony of two of the prosecution’s key witnesses, Jeremiah Hills and Amber Lubbers, both of whom alleged that MacCallum had expressed a desire to have her husband killed.

In particular, Duncan pointed out changing statements both witnesses made at various points leading up to the trial, including Hills’ initial lack of reference to MacCallum’s possible motives and Lubbers’ count of the shots MacCallum allegedly fired at her husband on Nov. 16, 2012.

“Her story changed tremendously” from her arrest to the preliminary hearing to the trial, Duncan said of Lubbers’ testimony, explaining that he felt her memory had appeared to get better with time.

In closing, Duncan told the jury, “If you say guilty, you must be able to sleep well.”

After Duncan’s statement, prosecutor Joe Allison was allowed time for a rebuttal, followed by the jury entering deliberations, which continue today.
